Walsgrave on Sowe was a village until the 1960s, and its surviving core around St Mary's Church is now ringed by later estates and by the University Hospital, which drives much of the local rental demand. Housing here is mostly post-1960, which changes what a good rating looks like.
Yes. NextDay EPC provides accredited Energy Performance Certificates across Walsgrave (CV2), including the 1960s to 1980s estates off Woodway Lane, Hall Green Road and Hinckley Road, the old village centre around St Mary's Church and Walsgrave Road, and the houses and flats near University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire on Clifford Bridge Road. Next-day appointments are usually available.
The old village of Walsgrave on Sowe sits beside the River Sowe with St Mary's Church and a handful of older cottages, but the district was transformed when the hospital opened in the 1970s and was rebuilt as University Hospital in 2006, and when the estates filled the land towards the M6 and M69 junction. Woodway Lane and Hinckley Road are the spine roads, Walsgrave Triangle's retail and business parks lie to the north, and the hospital is the largest employer for miles.
Houses built from the 1960s to the 1980s have cavity walls, and those from the mid-1970s onward usually had some cavity or loft insulation from new, so a Walsgrave house of that era commonly scores C or a high D without much work. The weak points are original timber or early uPVC double glazing that has lost its seal, flat-roofed garage conversions and boilers now past twenty years old. The older cottages in the village core are solid-walled and follow a different pattern, usually D or E.
A large proportion of the flats and smaller houses near the hospital are let to nurses, doctors and other staff, often through agents who need certificates turned round quickly between tenancies. We fit those in at short notice and lodge the same day. For the 2030 C-band rule, most post-1960 Walsgrave properties are already close, and the certificate shows the one or two measures that close the gap.

Usually next day, with the certificate lodged the same afternoon. Agents managing several units near Clifford Bridge Road often book them together. If the flat is empty, give us the key-safe or access details and we can work without anyone present.
Yes, as long as it is two panes. Older units are recorded as double glazing of that era, which scores below modern low-emissivity units but well above single glazing. Replacing them is listed in the recommendations with its expected gain.
